The YDF awards are a KTG tradition for recognition of our artistic and technical volunteers.  For each show the Assistant Director and the Technical Director decide who will receive the honors. Whimsical or serious these awards are to say ”thank  you” for a job well done! The awards are announced at the Annual Meeting and Season Celebration held in June.
